How did you install it? Be as specific and detailed as possible.

I have the source code, I followed the instructions given in INSTALL file.

The steps are as follows:

Configuring VLC
===============
./configure --enable-debug

Building VLC
============
`make' to build VLC.

Installing and running VLC
==========================
make install

Is that what you want you need?

Next time you compile and install something from source, make sure to use checkinstall. There are other options (namely stow and autotools magic) but checkinstall is a nobrainer.
